ADP gains a phosphate group to create ATP, which stores energy for making sugars.
Explanation: Energy (from light reactions) is used to add a phosphate to ADP, forming ATP. The high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP store the energy used in the Calvin cycle to build sugars; when ATP is hydrolyzed back to ADP + Pi, that stored energy is released.
